Btla Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable signaling receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in immune response-regulating cell surface receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell surface receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of B cell proliferation; and negative regulation of alpha-beta T cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in external side of plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human BTLA (B and T lymphocyte associated).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Btla often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
